La mordida ping!
Question: do you know why it is Texas A&M International University and not Texas A&M at Laredo?
Answer: So the Acronym isn't "TAMALE".
Just wait until our pols reward illegals with amnesty. The next wave will be 40 million, not 20 million.
Enjoy your country's decline, amigos.
The government has been pumping billions into the South Texas Valley for years. Mordidas are just a way of life. Ironically, this is the season of giving mordidas as Christmas presents with "meanings". I have seen this for years. Nobody keep it quiet what they are buying their lawyer, banker, etc.
I notice no party affiliations are mentioned. Must be Dems...
Travis McGee is a prophet.
This is the culture our own president wants us to adopt.

Anyone who couldn't see this coming must have been just smart enough to campaign for open borders.
Just the tip of the iceberg folks.
Pathetic and disgusting and so ........ Mexican. Thank you George Bush!!
BTW there are thousands of immigration laws George Bush could enforce right now. But refuses too
Charming.
The story itself is troubling, but did you notice the story is written in simple "one-sentence" paragraphs" .....
Shows the level of reading most people in the valley are now getting - if they speak English at all.
If we're talking the South (of the US) the bribe culture has always been pretty active down here. I'd say it really only began to change about 30 years ago, with the professionalization of various police and judicial agencies. Of course, it just moved up the line, to people like the esteemed Jefferson, he of the big bucks in the freezer...

The bribe culture has been in Texas forever. I'm familiar with San Antonio's culture.
There are political street operatives who round up Mexican-American votes for cash. The traditional payment for a vote went from $1.00 in the 1930s-40s to $5.00 by the mid 80s. Don't live there anymore so don't have the market price.
Several city councilmen were recently convicted for being among a long line of politicians in Bexar county who took cash for votes.
Some judges were for sale. I had a young friend who had a drug bust for an ounce of speed--a serious felony offense and he was looking at 10-20 years. I took him to a Dem poltician/lawyer. He came out shaking his head, "I don't understand it," he said. "He told me that if I paid him $1500 this week (while judge so and so was presiding judge), he'd guarantee me immediate Deferred Adjudication, but if I couldn't pay it until next week, it'd only be $500 down, but he couldn't guarantee anything and I might go to jail." I laughed and explained what the lawyer was telling him. Do you smell a $1,000 rat?
Another judge was famous in attorney circles for ruling in favor of attractive ladies in contested divorces over money if they visited him privately in his chambers for sex. The lawyers arranged the trysts.
The corruption went so far that one night as I was standing next to a county judge at a noisy crowded singles bar, I heard him tell a man who claimed to be newly arrived in town who to call to score some cocaine.
Many City and county employees have routinely accepted bribes for various services they do for people.
Viva Mordida! It keeps the wheels of government and justice moving.
They demand it.
Bookmarked as another side effect of illegal immigration that people are turning a blind eye to.
James Michener predicted this and described it in his 1985 book, Texas.
